Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • FastCull

    Cull as fast as it gets

  • I already have a Qt app I would like to package now (https://github.com/lrem/FastCull). Would fbs be something to look into, or should I investigate some alternative at this point?

  • fbs

    Create Python GUIs with Qt in minutes

  • Haven't gotten around to it since 2018 and don't think this will change soon. Always happy to receive contributions though.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • vorta

    Desktop Backup Client for Borg Backup

  • At Vorta (https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/) we're also happy users of the PyQt + PyInstaller stack. Not really needed for Linux, but great for macOS. It's even possible to use Sparkle via PyObjc for automatic updates. Be sure to build "appdir" packages to get a proper macOS package that can be notarized with Apple.

  • PyQtGraph

    Fast data visualization and GUI tools for scientific / engineering applications

  • And for those who would need Python and Qt "complexified" :

    https://www.pyqtgraph.org/

    > PyQtGraph is a pure-python graphics and GUI library built on PyQt / PySide and numpy. It is intended for use in mathematics / scientific / engineering applications. Despite being written entirely in python, the library is very fast due to its heavy leverage of NumPy for number crunching and Qt's GraphicsView framework for fast display. PyQtGraph is distributed under the MIT open-source license.

    > Packaging for Distribution

  • argos-translate-gui

    Graphical user interface for Argos Translate

  • This looks like a cool project, I had issues packaging Qt apps with Python for the Argos Translate GUI https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate-gui

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
